Strange. I thought it was glided, or at least glode
- IAmGraydon 2mo agoIt is glided. "Glid" is not a word in the English language.
- virtualwhys 2mo agoStrange, I've always used glid, glided is so cumbersome in comparison.

- ButlerianJihad 2mo agohttps://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/glid https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/glid They are synonyms
- mr_toad 2mo agoGlid vs glided, slid vs slided are examples of the inconsistency of the English language. Glided is more common than glid, and slid is more common than slided. Linguistics says that that makes slide an ‘irregular’ verb, but that’s basically a circular definition.
